Orcish shield

The orcish shield is a kind of shield. When unidentified, it is a red-eyed shield.

Orcish shields are usually found on Mordor orcs (with a 2/3 chance). Orc-captains may also get an orcish shield or an Uruk-hai shield, with about a 1/3 chance of each. Since Mordor orcs tend to be less dangerous than Uruk-hai, especially because of the poisoned arrows used by the latter, one might expect the orcish shield to be inferior, but in practice the two shields are identical in all but name and appearance.
